Don’t know any better
This phrase means “someone does something bad or stupid because they have not been told or taught that it is wrong”

Examples:
1. You should use nonstandard English only when you intend to, rather than fall into it because you don’t know any better.

2. One person correctly thinks of a “vocal cord” as a part of the anatomy, and another “hears it” as “vocal chord” meaning a sound. So, they will add the second, incorrect spelling and interpretation as acceptable just because a lot of people don’t know any better.
